Christianity In China.
1 From the London Tablet.

Tn. Chinese covernment has issued in- structions to the local goy srnors, in pursu- anoe of which these of6cialf have put forth preclamations warning the people against the persecution of missionaries and Chris tians.
 stKnow all men, :" says the Governor of Che KiaHg, 'sthat the sole object of establishing chapels is to exhort men to do right; those who embrace Christianity do not ceass to be Chinese, and both sides should therefore continue to live in peace, and not let mu- tual jealousies be the cause of strife between them.a
 Likewise Kung. the Governor of the prov iuce in which Shanghai is situated, after explaining that under the treaties nlssie h.
 aries have the right to hold land and houses on lease, and to travel about and preach, tstheir sole aim being the medication of the practice of virtue, and having no design of interfering with the business of the peo- ple,n goes on to say: "Such of the subjects | nf China as wish to become converts may | lawfully do 80, and as long as they abstain | from evil doing there is no law prescribing l inouisit ton into or prohibition of theil | action.n For the destruction of chapels an6 | houses, in disturbances increased "by loca | yagabonds and bad characters" summar, | vengeance will be taken.

Miss cushman as NIeg MerrilIes

From the Gentleman s Magazine.
 The Meg of Charlotte Cushman was 6 sibyl, 8 pythoness, before whose oracular utterances the boldest might have trembled. What thrill went through the audiences as she suddenly darted from the side scene and then stood motionless, with one claw like finger of skeleton hand pointed at Henry Bertram. What face blanched and tanned and wrinkled and scared, as it were, by the storms of centuries; blear- eyed, with Medusa-like gray locks struggling from be- meath kind of turl an, while the tall bony figure was clad in mass of indescrib able rags, shreds, patches of all colors marvelously real.
 The tall, weird figure on tiptoe, the with cred arms thrown up, one holding her staff far above her head; the deep rough voice, rising to the shriek of bird of prey upon the final word-it was not mere acting, it was an inspiration as great as anything Rachel ever achieved. I once heard an old actor, who was playing Dandie Din mont, say that he had to turn away his head while supporting her in her death scene; and have seen ladies in the house cover their faces with their hands, unable to en- dure the sight of the dying agonies of that awful face in the fierce struggle against the coming doom. When all was over she was borne of the stage, and some little time elapsed between her death and the fall of the curtain, sufficient for her to wash of her hideous mask and paint and powder her face, though the dress was unchanged, for the call. It was curious bitof coquetry for so great an artiste, but she invariably did it.

recommends the adoption of the public ac-
 count system for the employment of convict labor. All prison convicts should, in the
 opinion of the commission, be employed in
 productive labor, learning as nearly as possi-
 ble the cost of their maintenance" Atten- tion is directed to what has occurred in the
 Auburn prison as showing that idleness is not only subversive of discipline, but also destructive of all moral influences, of mental and physical health, and of all impulses of reformation or improvement. In that prison several hundred convicts have remained in enforced idleness for more than year and half. Among the results have been an in- crease of disease, decline of discipline, and the transfer of twenty-six prisoners to the asylum for the insane in the last year, as against six prisoners so transferred in the
 preceding year. The commission declares that the piece-priee plan is s'clearly more op- pressive and therefore more offensive to com petitive free labor than even the contract system
 It is stated in La Nature that the best quality of that growingly useful article, wood wool, is obtained from the Riga fir tree by means of machine specially adapted to the purpose The blocks of wood must at a maximum be 0.465 millimeter in length, 0.4 millimeter in width and 032 milimeter in thickness, and consequently the most eco- nomical and practical method is to obtain commercial fir blanks, which are 0.32 milli- meter in width and 0.09 in thickness, and cut them to the desired length, It being pos sble in this way for the machine to act upon four superposed pieces of wood at once. This ingenious machine consists of a cast iron frame resting upon three iron supports and carrying driving shaft, which is actu- ated by two pulleys, fast and loose; to this shaft is fitted fly wheel, one spoke being provided with pin that receives one of the extremities of a connecting rod, the other extremity being connected with the knife carrier-this latter, which also rests upon the iron frame, sliding in iron guides and carrying set of peculiar knives so arranged that the wood is cut in both the backward and the forward motions of the knife carrier. The wood is held upright by the machine by suitable arrangements permitting the intro- duction of blocks a few fractions of an inch long; the wood is showed forward under the knives by means of click that causes it to advance the requisite distance at every revo- lution of the fly wheel, every movement thus aiding in perfecting the result.

PUBLIC OFFICE A PUBLIC TRUST.

PUBLIC OFFICE PUBLIC TRUST.
 The Matthews case is attracting a good deal of attention. It is difficult to get at the true inwardness of it, but thus far the indi- cations are that the Senate is decidedly ahead of the President who has said that public office is a public trust.
 In sending in the second time the nomina- tion of Matthews to be recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, the President said that the fitness of the nominee had been demonstrated, that the opposition to him of the citizens of the District had largely sub sided, and that he desired in this way to rec ognize the claims of colored citizens. Ire Senate seems to agree with the President that it is a good thing to recognize the claims of the colored race. But it points out that Frederick Douglass was requested to resign the office of recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia in order that James O. Matthews might be appointed to the place and says: Without doubt Frederick Douglass is the most distinguished represent ative of the eolored race, Tot in this country only, but in the world. "Just recognition" would have been rendered to our colored
 
 Douglass, rather than by his enforced retire ment, in order to reward an unknown and obscure partisan, who had never been a slave, and therefore represented the enfran- chised race only by the accident of color. The devotion of the President to the political and civil advancement of the colored race might have been equally attested, and "Good faith" might have been as strongly evinced, by the retention of Douglass in the office whose duties he was discharging to the satisfaction of the people, unless it is to be understood that "just recognition" is to be rendered only to those members of that race who are supposed to entertain particular political opinions. In such case the issue of race disappears, and the test is politics.

Everybody said "nice day" yesterday, and for once, at least, they meant it.

The Prison Labor Reform commission of New York in it's report to the legislature
Morning journal and courier., 1887-02-10


 Everybody said ''nice day" yesterday, and for once, at least, they meant it.
 The strikers in New York have lost at least $100, ,000 day in wages during the two weeks or more that the strike has lasted And many of them have lost better places than they can now find. Few are the strikes that pay.
 Dr. T. G. Ford of New Orleans killed the man who seduced his wife. At his trial he pleaded guilty in order not to expose the de, tails of the weakness of the mother of his children. He was sentenced to prison for fifteen years, but it is not probable that he will stay there long, for there is general de mand for his pardon. One of the New Or leans papers calls upon the ladies to come forward and sign petitions to the governor.
 George NJ. Gould thus summoned up "the ethics of economics" in a Philadelphia ad- dress: The more or less of human life re- quired to produce everything purchasable gives an article it's value, and this makes money the good it is. The value of human life, estimated from life assurance and wage statistics, is $14, 500, and with every selfish, wasteful or gluttonous use of this sum, a mans life is as surely sacrificed as if he had been killed and eaten by an African can nibal
 It is consistent that in warlike Germany the official income tax returns just published show that the man who is rated highest is Herr Krupp, of Essen. His income is assess ed at more than five million marks, or e25O,- 900 sterling, on which he pays 151. 200 marks, or e7, ,560 annually. Next comes Baron Rothschild, of Frankfort on the Main, with an income of 3, 75O, 900 marks, paying tax of 81, ,000 marks, A ,050 per annum. Then follows the British consul general, Baron Bleichroder of Berlin, with an income of about 2, $40, GOO marks, paying annual tax of 6S, 400 marks, or G3, 420. The two next richest men in Prussia are two Silesian iron masters. The only other Prussians with an income of over million marks are Baron Hansemann and a Westphalian magnate, each of whom pays rather more than f1, 800 year to the treasury.
 It is evident that cars can be successfully heated by steam from the locomotive. One of the Boston and Albany's trains has been so heated for some time. And the Railroad commissioners of Massachusetts say 'tThe result seems to have been in all respects satisfactory. When this has been done for another season the ex- perimental stage of the improvement will have passed. Then the question will be to what extent the adoption of this safeguard will be required by law" And their official report also contains the following important statement: The result of our inquiries sat l isfied us that system of heating by steam from the locomotive is feasible, safe and un- attended by any serious difficulty so far as ! important through trains are concerned, and also in regard to cars which are constantly performing short service and trains run continuously on belt line.
